    摘要: An optical head and an optical recorder with which data can be recorded/reproduced onto/from a conventional CD-R without a problem and, further, data can be recorded/reproduced onto/from an optical recording medium of DVD standard which meets the requirements of the high recording density by employing a semiconductor laser beam which has a relatively longer wavelength than the track pitch of the optical recording medium and the optical super-resolution technique. Moreover, since a semiconductor laser beam which has a relatively longer wavelength than the track pitch of the optical recording medium can be employed by the optical head and the optical recorder, the limitation of the high density recording can be broken through and the optical pickup device and the optical recorder can record/reproduce data of the high recording density at a low cost and with the high reliability and can meet the requirements of the much higher recording density in future.

    摘要: A photodiode detection circuit is used to automatically identify a type of photodiode circuit connected to it (34, 35). The photodiode circuit comprises at least a photodiode. Once the type of photodiode circuit has been identified by applying a current to it (44) and evaluating a voltage occuring at an input of the detection circuit (45) the photodetection circuit adapts itself to it, e.g. a reverse biasing voltage is / isn't applied (48) to the photodiode of the photodiode circuit. The result is a photodiode detection circuit which uses a forward or a reversed biased photodiode. The photodiode detection circuit is now in a state to measure light falling on the photodiode. The detection circuit may be part of a light intensity monitoring and controlling circuit which allows to regulate the intensity of a laser beam in an optical disk reading / recording device.

    摘要: Light from a semiconductor laser is converged by an objective lens onto an optical disk, and return light thereof is directed to a light receiving element by a three-division hologram element. The light receiving element includes a two-division main light receiving region for detecting a focus error signal and sub light receiving regions respectively provided on both sides of the main light receiving region for compensating the focus error signal. Based on output signals of the above main and sub light receiving regions, a focus error signal is detected. Note that it is arranged that the sub light receiving regions receive the return light from the optical disk and hence output signals only when the objective lens defocuses being positioned outside a dynamic range. Therefore, with the use of outputs of the sub light receiving regions, the focus error signal is quickily converged to 0, when the objective lens is positioned outside the dynamic range. As a result, even during a focus servo with respect to a multilayer optical disk wherein recording layers are provided at small intervals, it is possible to obtain an accurate focalizing position of the objective lens since respective focus error signals, obtained with respect to each recording layer, do not interfere each other.
